Cantilever Collection

can·ti·le·ver (ˈkan(t)lˌēvər,ˈkan(t)lˌevər/)noun1. a long projecting beam or girder fixed at only one end, used chiefly in bridge construction.

Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.-Frank Lloyd Wright

The striking appearance of a cantilevered design is hard to ignore. As the structure projects out, a surreal feeling of lightness and negative space is created. With these three pieces, my goal was to design furniture that challenged common sense, and required the user to look just a bit closer. Using solid wood construction, and sliding dovetail joinery, the cantilevered design finds it's strength in the details and demands a second look.
